Confidence game victim from a dinner scene in a cabinet dinner tale
A sharp dressed con man posing as a gentleman robs a dinner guest, a cabinet member, of valuables by feigning weakness and ordering lavish dishes. The Chicago drummer is revealed as the culprit, a swindler using social pretense to target the well dressed. The piece closes with a wry note on a Swede inventor and a Detroit Free Press aside.
